    White wine. Rheingau, Germany. Biodynamic. 100% Riesling. "Entirely sourced from their own grapes, Kühn's 2018 Riesling Trocken Jacobus displays a beautiful white-golden color and perfectly ripe and refined fruit with discreet but lovely coolish and flinty notes. The palate is crystalline, salty and piquant and reflects the quartzite soils of the Rheingau perfectly. Great elegance and beautifully ripe and refined Riesling fruit lead to a stimulating and perfectly balanced finish. Tasted in May 2019." — 90 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (August 2020)

    White wine. Rheingau, Germany. Biodynamic. 100% Riesling. "The nose is marked by oak resin due to the relative newness of the large cask in which this wine was raised. Along with this come intimations of walnut and peach kernel piquancy. The glossy, dense palate practically explodes with rich, bittersweet flavors pit-inflected white peach of zesty lemon, leading to a vibrantly gripping and infectiously juicy finish whose oyster liquor-like combination of meaty, herbal, algae-like and briny-stony elements puts the squeeze on one’s salivary glands." —93 Points, David Schildknecht, Vinous (Aug. 2019)

    White wine. Rheingau, Germany. Biodynamic. 100% Riesling. "Aged on the fine lees until February this year and for another eight weeks until the bottling in April, the 2017 Doosberg Riesling Trocken "GG" is beautifully intense and ripe but also refined and seductive on the raspberry-scented nose. The palate is pure, finessed and salty and reveals ripe, concentrated and very intense fruit without losing the crystalline finesse and purity. The finish is pure, fresh and crisp, very clear and piquant, leaving the palate with very fine tannins and salts. Highly impressive, tight and compact but so generous! Tasted two weeks after the bottling in May 2019." — 95 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (January 2020)

    White wine. Rheingau, Germany. Biodynamic. 100% Riesling. "The 2018 Oestrich Lenchen Riesling Auslese displays a clear and spicy bouquet of ripe and concentrated but clear and healthy Riesling that was picked with 35% of botrytis. Sweet, intense and racy-piquant on the palate, this is a clear and persistently salty Auslese with tension, grip and length and a fine raisin flavor. It's still sweet with primary fruit, but its grip and mineral tension will make this an excellent Auslese with food in 10 to 20 years. Tasted in May 2019." — 92 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (August 2020)

    White wine. Rheingau, Germany. Biodynamic. 100% Riesling. "The 2018 Oestrich Klosterberg Riesling trocken displays and golden-yellow color and opens with a deep, intense and slightly reductive bouquet with flinty and earthy notes of stewed lemon and lemon chutney. Juicy, rich and piquant on the palate yet also refined, this is a full-bodied and creamy, highly elegant and salty-piquant Riesling with tight tannins and a long and intense finish. Tasted in April 2020." — 93 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (August 2020)

    White wine. Rheingau, Germany. Biodynamic. 100% Riesling. "With 10% to 15% botrytis, the 2018 Oestrich Lenchen Riesling Spätlese is beautifully intense yet clear, pure and flinty on the exotic nose. Lush and generous on the palate, with a stimulating piquancy and generous sweetness but also body and good phenolic grip, this is an excellent Spätlese that already drinks very well, but it should be kept for a decade to get the best out of it. Straight, fresh and classic style with grip and tension. Bottled with 9% alcohol and 72 grams of residual sugar. Tasted in May 2019." — 89+ Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (August 2020)

    White wine. Rheingau, Germany. Biodynamic. 100% Riesling. "Picked at 83° Oechsle, the 2018 Oestrich Lenchen Riesling Kabinett is clear, intense and spicy on the nose that displays ripe white-seed fruit and also some nutty aromas. On the palate, this is a light, piquant and grippy Kabinett in a style that is not all too sweet. Bottled with 10% alcohol and 32 grams of unfermented sugar. This is a straight, piquant and grippy Kabinett with good phenol structure. Keep this wine for six to ten years and then enjoy it with lighter dishes but also veal." — 88 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (August 2020)
